ABU DHABI — A minor earthquake was felt on the east coast of the United Arab Emirates on Friday morning, the country's official news agency WAM reported

The National Seismic Network, part of the UAE's National Centre of Meteorology, recorded on Friday's early morning a 3.4 magnitude tremor on Richter scale at a depth of 12.1 kilometers in Fujairah.

The NCM said in a statement that the minor tremor, which occurred at 06:08 (UAE local time), was "slightly felt by residents without any effect."

No buildings were damaged due to the earthquake.

In June, tremors were felt in the UAE after a 5.1-magnitude quake struck Iran.

In February, residents in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and the Northern Emirates felt the ground shake after a 5.8-magnitude quake struck Iran's Qeshm Island.
